'NANCY PELOSI IS BEING A HARD-ASS: Giving Middle Finger To GOP Trying To Deny Relief To US Workers'
"Nancy Pelosi Is Being A Hard-Ass-- Damn! Daily Kos, Dartagnan, July 24, 2020. 10:29 PM, EST
Our House Speaker is giving the middle finger to Senate Republicans trying to deny relief to American workers:
Nancy Pelosi of California again rejected on Friday the prospect of passing a short-term extension of extra unemployment benefits slated to lapse next week, slamming Republicans for failing to put forward a broader pandemic relief proposal that would include a continuation of the $600 weekly boost.
It really seems as if the ball is in her court.
> “No, no, no, no — pass the bill,” Ms. Pelosi said, dismissing repeated questions about whether she would consider approving the jobless aid on its own. “It’s a tactic in order to not honor our other responsibilities.”
It also seems that the Republicans, being in disarray, have no answer to the Speaker of the House.
Those other responsibilities, she said, included allocating trillions more in federal aid for states, cities, schools and coronavirus testing.
“I would be very much averse to separating this out and lose all leverage for meeting all of the other needs,” she said.
Just a note...on who is now running the show.
